This week marked the birth anniversary of two great Americans who,
Iby their unselfish endeavors on ibe-
.half of their fellow men will be Ions
'remembered by all who .follow them
thru tin1 world of tbe future.
■::. * * *
Neither of ti esc men was acquainted with the other, and yet tlieir work
may lie said, in one instance, to parallel that of the other, insofar as each.
by direct action brought light to thousands who Iliad been living in comparative darkness.
* * * *
The one brought Hie light of freedom to a race1 Ions enslaved by the
cupidity of men, while the other,
many years later, made his contribution to humanity in the form of electricity, revolutionizing the world of industry in a manner far exceeding even his own optimistic- hopes.
:e * ■■:-■ *
T'he name of Abraham Lincoln,
whose birthday was February 12t)h,
will be forever inscribed in tbe pages of history for several reasons, chief
among them being his1 calm leadership
ot a union threatened with disintegration), caused by his famous Emancipation Proclamation early in .his first
term as president.
The Proclamation was something
about wlhictb he 'had given much
thought; it was not a spontaneous!
gesture of political expedience, nor
was it conceived in conference with
his cabinet of advisors. On the contrary, it was something which became'
rooted in his mind while still a young
man, before embarking upon the career 'Of law wlaich made the execution of his plan possible.
* * * *
His was ;i decision arrived at while
operating a flatboaf which plied the
waters (between Illinois and New Orleans and it was brought, about by
witnessing an auction of slaws in this
metropolis of the South. Tr.e inhumanity of tihe scene strengthened him
in the 'high resolve that some day, if
it were in his power, slavery would
'be abolished.
Tne ideal which he estabMsffifed never wavered—obstacles were met and
overcome, a great war was fought,
the Union was preserved and Lincoln
was killed hy an assassin's bullet hut
bis purpose wtis accomplished and 'his
name lives on. He was the great humanitarian.
* * * *
How fining that Edison, whose
Ibirthday was observed February nth,
was only crossing tfte threshold of his
formative year** at the time of Lincoln's death. 11 * tod, at an early age,
fell that urge of an ambition which:
persisted all through his later years,
driving him on in bis great quest for
those tiling- which fce invented and
which we casually accept as commonplace today.
His was a great capacity for work,
and his laboratory at Menlo Park was
his wort!. Here he fashioned the fertile ideas of his Imagination into tne
reality whlcta lie pictured for them,
land by so doing, left the world his
debtor and his beneficiary.
* V * tf
Kach of these men were humble individually and tiie adulation 'heaped
ui 'them., in no way affected the
routine of ttl.eir lives. Both at different times in ttteir o:\roor* suffered,
and triumphed over tbe jibes and
jeers of antagonistic elements and
.Loth had tlie courage n, tlieir convic-

Jusl before the river froze over, the

Once again, Faith Church wtis the

matrimony, Lois D. I'eterson. daughter of ilr. and Mrs. Clarence I'eterson of .Swanburg and Leo E. King of
Anchorage, Alaska, son of Mr. and
Mm E. King 'Of Hackensack. Candlelight lent a quiet beauty to tvieir vows
spoken before the altar in a siuglie-
j*ing ceremony.
The bride was given in marriage
by her father. Her gown was of
white satin and net, fitted bodice, long
sleeves, full skirt ending in a train
of net; finger-tip veil, braided tiara
on 'her' beautiful auburn hair. Het"
bouquet was of wiiite cola lilies and
whites .carnations. Her sister, Margaret Ann I'eterson attended as maid
of honor, wearing ai floor-length gown
of aqua taffeta tind net. Her bouquet
was of vati-colored pink and white
carnations. Attending tbe -room as
best man, was Orris Fenfeand of Minneapolis. Ushers were Eldon Peterson, broil.er of the bride and Howard
Peterson" her cousin. All men in the
wedding party wore dark business
.suits villi a white carnaiion in their
lapel.
The groom's mother wore1 a brown
alpaca suit dress and the bride's moth
er wore a street-length dress of navy
blue sib crepe. They both ivore . eau-
tiful shoulder Ibouqets of ned and
white roses. -Mrs. Dallas Proffit played the processional and recessional
and lalso played the aecomipatniment
for -I Love You Truly," and "Oil, Perfect Love," beautifully sung by Calvin Peterson.
Following the ceremony, a reception w;asi .held in. the churcih parlors
which were decorated in aqua anil
white. Tables were adorned with
large vases of jonquils. A three-
tiered wedding cake formed the centerpiece of the bride's table. Covers
were laid for about sixty guests.
After the happy young couple 'bad
opened and admired their many wedding gifts, the groom gave the guests
an added thrill Iby showing colored
slide pictures lie had taken in Alaska.
The couple will leave for Anchorage after spending a snort time in
Minneapolis; and with them go our
fondest hopes for BI eir happiness in
the years to come.—Swanburg Correspondent.

T'he name of Abraham Lincoln,
whose birthday was February 12t)h,
will be forever inscribed in tbe pages of history for several reasons, chief
among them being his1 calm leadership
ot a union threatened with disintegration), caused by his famous Emancipation Proclamation early in .his first
term as president.
The Proclamation was something
about wlhictb he 'had given much
thought; it was not a spontaneous!
gesture of political expedience, nor
was it conceived in conference with
his cabinet of advisors. On the contrary, it was something which became'
rooted in his mind while still a young
man, before embarking upon the career 'Of law wlaich made the execution of his plan possible.
* * * *
His was ;i decision arrived at while
operating a flatboaf which plied the
waters (between Illinois and New Orleans and it was brought, about by
witnessing an auction of slaws in this
metropolis of the South. Tr.e inhumanity of tihe scene strengthened him
in the 'high resolve that some day, if
it were in his power, slavery would
'be abolished.
Tne ideal which he estabMsffifed never wavered—obstacles were met and
overcome, a great war was fought,
the Union was preserved and Lincoln
was killed hy an assassin's bullet hut
bis purpose wtis accomplished and 'his
name lives on. He was the great humanitarian.
* * * *
How fining that Edison, whose
Ibirthday was observed February nth,
was only crossing tfte threshold of his
formative year** at the time of Lincoln's death. 11 * tod, at an early age,
fell that urge of an ambition which:
persisted all through his later years,
driving him on in bis great quest for
those tiling- which fce invented and
which we casually accept as commonplace today.
His was a great capacity for work,
and his laboratory at Menlo Park was
his wort!. Here he fashioned the fertile ideas of his Imagination into tne
reality whlcta lie pictured for them,
land by so doing, left the world his
debtor and his beneficiary.

Kach of these men were humble individually and tiie adulation 'heaped
